Which Canadian hiring startup did LinkedIn acquire in March 2015?

LinkedIn acquired Careerify, a Canadian hiring startup, in March 2015.

Careerify developed tools that helped businesses find and recruit people through social-media data. Its approach reflected a growing shift in hiring: employers could use professional connections and publicly available signals to identify potential candidates instead of relying solely on applications submitted to job boards.

LinkedIn announced the acquisition on March 16, 2015. The deal fit naturally with LinkedIn’s recruiting products, because the company already held a large professional graph showing people’s skills, workplaces, education, and connections. Careerify’s technology and expertise could therefore support more targeted talent discovery.

Careerify is easy to confuse with Jobvite, Workable, or Hired because all are associated with recruiting or hiring technology. They are separate companies, however. The question asks specifically about LinkedIn’s March 2015 acquisition of the Canadian startup, making Careerify the single canonical answer.
